[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the puppy, but it is really hard work. For us, the following made it difficult: -We crate trained him and had no issue doing so, except for at night - for the first 5 months we got MAYBE 3 hours of sleep a night because he would cry and bark all night. We were finally so exhausted that we gave up on nighttime crating, and from then on he slept soundly...but we were SO sleep deprived in the months prior. -We got a breed known for being difficult to housebreak. There were near daily accidents in our (new) house up until 5ish months. -Our pup thought that playfully biting us was great fun for a while. Puppy teeth are very sharp. I look back at the pictures of him as a puppy and he looked so cute, but at the time it seemed like there was a little monster living with us and I constantly wished we hadn’t gotten him. Love him dearly now that he’s grown up![/quote]
